Internationalisation of cable operators and services

Published: 2009-03-04

In the last edition of TS&T, we highlighted the large differences between countries in terms of cable penetration and technology. We also stressed how important modern technology is to enable new services such as digital TV, telephony or Internet access. This issue analyses in more depth the internationalisation of cable operators and services. Are some international actors emerging ? On which services do they base their international expansion ? Or do services remain defined within national boundaries ? Could Internet access be a driver of internationalisation ?
